Grevillea trachytheca, commonly known as rough-fruit grevillea,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect to spreading shrub with hairy branchlets, mostly broadly linear leaves, and white to cream-coloured and yellow flowers with a white style.
Description
Grevillea trachytheca is an erect to spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt and has woolly- to velvety-hairy branchlets. Its leaves are mostly broadly linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The edges of the leaves are rolled under, enclosing most of the lower surface apart from the mid-vein. The flowers are arranged in narrowly conical to more or less cylindrical clusters along a shaggy-hairy rachis Шаблон:Cvt long, the flowers at the lower part of the rachis flowering first. The flowers are white to cream-coloured and yellow with a white style, the pistil Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from May to October and the fruit is a rough, oval to elliptic follicle Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3]
This grevillea is closely related to G. crithmifolia, which has shorter flower clusters and divided leaves.[2]
Taxonomy
Grevillea trachytheca was first formally described in 1868 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from specimens growing in sand near the Murchison River collected by Augustus Oldfield.[4][5] The specific epithet (trachytheca) means "rough cover" or "rough container", referring to the fruit.[3][6]
Distribution and habitat
Rough-fruit grevillea grows in shrubland near Kalbarri and along the lower Murchison River in the Carnarvon and Geraldton Sandplains bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[1][2]
Use in horticulture
Grevillea trachytheca is a suitable plant for use in areas with a Mediterranean climate, where it can be used as a dense hedge or screen. Most well-drained soils in a sunny or partially-shaded location are recommended. It is most easily propagated from cuttings.[3]
